http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hi all. I am using windows XP as my host machine and vmware workstation 6 to install and run RHEL 5. I have set the inittab to runlevel 5. While i am in gnome, i tried pressing Ctrl-Alt-F3 and nothing happens. I searched the net and found that i should do this Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F3. It worked and kinda throwed me to shell mode. When i issued runlevel command it showed me N 5 Now when i tried to go back to gnome by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F5 it didnt work !! i tried all other combinations Ctrl-Alt-Shift-(F1-F5) but no response. I entered init 5 but no response !! I am missing somethi (HowTos)

Stories similar to Ctrl-Alt-Fn keys dont work in vmware

I'm using GNU Emacs 23.2.1. within Xfce 4.8.0 (both coming from the Ubuntu Natty repository). I disable the CapsLock by running /usr/bin/setxkbmap -option "ctrl:nocaps" at the beginning of the Xfce session.

When I hit the CapsLock key with some other keys, Emacs treats it as if the Ctrl key and the Shift key is pressed (Ctrl-S-whatever).

I'm trying to a get a ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab binding to work inside of a tmux session (I'm also using PuTTY).

I already went through the pains of having to recompile PuTTY so it would send ctrl and shift correctly. After using ctrl+v, and I'm able to see that ^[[27;5;9~ and ^[[27;6;9~ are being sent for ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab, respectively.

> edit: * is this the past of bind? is it used like this in case of "key-bindings"?yes it is, one might also say, 'assigned'ie; Ctrl+r isn`t assigned to anything elsei'm guessing ctrl-shift-r was bound in terminator because of ctrl-ra quick check in tty2 shows ctrl-r OR ctrl-shift-r does the same thing.very interesting cmd there, bind, thanks naik.

Ok, I realise that I risk a religious war asking a question about text editors, but here goes.

Requirements

Mostly used for config file edits Text based not GUI Available for Raspian flavour of Debian No learning required for a Windows/Mac GUI user (no vi/vim) Makes full use of keys found on modern keyboards, i.e.

I can do screencasts by pressing ctrl + alt + shift + r, but I get no sound when I view the videos, I've check my built in mic and headset, they both work on skype and such, I just can't record sound with the gnome built in screencasting. Also, when I open the videos in movieplayer they are in mute by default and there's nothing the the preferences I can find to change that.

Here's my configuration file : http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/maconf/icewm/preferences

These commands don't work

I'm using zsh + rxvt-unicode as a terminal simulator in Archlinux. I've successfully setup navigation in the terminal using Ctrl+Arrow keys, but i can't setup the terminal to be able to select text when pressing Shift + Arrow (or Ctrl + Shift + Arrow to select the whole word). After several days of searching for solution I couldn't find one.

I ran the following command in my terminal:

setxkbmap -layout us,ru -option "grp:lctrl_lshift_toggle,ctrl:nocaps"

but for some reason, the effect is the same if I specified "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle" - both Left-Shift+Left-Ctrl and Right-Shift+Right-Ctrl change my layout. How can I fix it?
